It is said that to commemorate Qu Yuan (some famous chinese poet from ancient times), people eat dumplings on the 3rd week of June. According to them, these rice dumplings are thrown into the river where he was drowned to prevent fishes from eating him. Well, there are many versions to this story. All I know is that rice dumplings are super yummy! </div><br />Since Dogs require more protein than carbohydrates, I've altered the ingredients and the dumplings now consist more meat than rice.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowFullScreen='true' webkitallowfullscreen='true' mozallowfullscreen='true' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/3qJS4rlgAJw?feature=player_embedded' FRAMEBORDER='0' /></div><br /><u><strong>Ingredients</strong></u><br />500g rough minced salmon<br />2 carrots, cubed<br />2 cups of brown rice soakd overnight<br />20 pieces of bamboo leaves soaked overnight<br />Raffia strings<br /><br /><strong>Steps:</strong><br />1. Take 2 pieces of leaves and place them facing an opposite direction, cut the tips of both leaves.<br />2. Form a cone, add about 1 tbsp of salmon.<br />3. On the top of the salmon, add 1 tbsp of rice and a cube or 2 of carrot.<br />4. Cover it with another tbsp full of salmon.<br />5. Press it down lightly. You want the dumpling to be tight.<br />6. (This step is harder to explain, you can follow the video above, it should be much clearer.) Cover the ingredients using the longer side of the bamboo leaf and form a triangular shape.<br />7. Tie the raffia string around the dumpling.<br />8. When all are done, Boil them in boiling water for approx. 1 hr.<br /><br />Serve at room temperature. Dumplings can be kept in the refrigerator for 3-4 days.<br /><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WkV8e4ADOy8/T9ruDbaJb_I/AAAAAAAAAFY/EjNgS5new0k/s1600/IMG_0802.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-WkV8e4ADOy8/T9ruDbaJb_I/AAAAAAAAAFY/EjNgS5new0k/s320/IMG_0802.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>Food For Dogshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16441547010835199799noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6455815076844369829.post-13584272344041904232012-06-07T12:53:00.003+08:002012-06-07T12:53:56.142+08:00Beef Liver Brownie<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3T7y03vLLiA/T9AyDnntoZI/AAAAAAAAAFE/wAPNu6ifr-g/s1600/IMG_0787.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-3T7y03vLLiA/T9AyDnntoZI/AAAAAAAAAFE/wAPNu6ifr-g/s320/IMG_0787.JPG" width="320" /></a>A brownie so easy to make, preparation time only takes less than 15 mins!!<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><object width="320" height="266" class="BLOGGER-youtube-video" classid="clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000" codebase="http://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=6,0,40,0" data-thumbnail-src="http://i.ytimg.com/vi/_OriSokYCMw/0.jpg"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/_OriSokYCMw?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" /><param name="bgcolor" value="#FFFFFF" /><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true" /><embed width="320" height="266" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/_OriSokYCMw?version=3&f=user_uploads&c=google-webdrive-0&app=youtube_gdata" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true"></embed></object></div><br /><strong><u>Ingredients</u></strong><br />500g beef liver, grounded<br />2 eggs<br />100ml wholewheat flour<br />2 tbsp coconut oil<br />1 tsp manuka honey<br />handful of coconut flakes, optional<br /><br /><strong>Steps:</strong><br />1.

It contains vitamin B, E and Niacin. It is also rich is protein as well as FATS! High in fats... hmm.. that's partly because those sold in supermarkets contain a high amount of oil and sugar. And not forgetting, a great amount of sodium too.<div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: left;">This homemade peanut butter is much healthier. I wouldn't say that it's fat free but much of the fat (from the peanut itself) is monounsaturated which improves blood cholestrol level.
